Website is now fully up

So as of now, i've finished up the pages - and redid the colors after that one comment. Not sure, but I think it looks pretty cool. Try to ignore any ugliness from the facebook like area - I wasn't able to stylize the text - just the background, so that's about it…

Anyway, everything looks pretty awesome, IMO, and it actually shows up rather well on my android (Galaxy Prevail). I'm a bit miffed at the fact that it draws INLINE box-shadows but it doesn't draw them outside (nor text-shadow). I won't complain THAT much though - it's not too bad.

Amazingly it looks fairly decent in IE9, too. Not incredibly pretty like in Firefox, but not disgusting for once. I wish they'd support text-shadow though.

Any other suggestions for color scheme? Perhaps any design changes? I'll probably be altering the navbar/adding a few extra links underneath the main bar (contact, links, etc.) but other than that, I think it works pretty nicely.

….Now… I'll either go try to get some sleep, being satisfied I got stuff done, or my mind will force me to tweak around with my minecraft server page (or begin a re-design).

BTW…. you guys want any kind of a site made for your server? Just for the hell of it? I promise I won't go Microsoft (or apple) on you and put my name over everything. :D

@SMP: I checked the site again - I don't quite see how you get the impression that it's…. too "glossy". Unlike a handful of my pre-v7 designs (yeah, I went through 7 revisions of the site - to see v6, type in random stuff to get to the 404 page), this actually has no glossy looks - I've elected to go with working with beveling the edge (as accents - not the "no photoshop skill" style). I also am employing gradients and shadows, but otherwise the only glossy bits were the reflection of the words in the topmost part of the header - everything else is "lighting effects" to give a glow look or something. (Something like my first design, which the site is no longer active).

Also, I personally like condensed pages (usually 800px-1000px in width). I know a lot of people who still employ 1024x screens (which would make this good for that), alongside the wonderful world of mobile browsers. I do want to experiment with wide pages though (scrolling horizontally rather than vertically).

I… I don't like the red. :<

But yeah, if you're insistent on the red, go for a white content bocks.
